had we known that the "supposed inteligence" collected and presented was BS, No.
Ask the Republicans and the Democrats in both houses whom Voted Yes, overwelmingly.
Now, they would tell you the same thing, (if they are not busy playing "footsies" with each other One More Time).

Yes and no....it was done inefficiently so that's a big no. It did show that the US and other countries will not be controlled by the UN so that's a yes. US and allies relied on incorrect information to start the war so that's HUGE no...The UN sanctions were being used and abuse by the dictator running the country...so that's a yes. The fact that US and allies would invade a country provoked other fanatical countries into a amass WMD for "protection" so that's a no.
All and all it seem to be the wrong war at the wrong time but something that would have happened soon or later.

after 9/11 , all americans want to do was revenge revenge revenge , and Bush saw the opportunity to start a war in Iraq to kill some middle-east looking people and blamed Saddam behind all the terrible things happening in the world.
Americans should have focused on hunting bin laden in Afganistan and not to have started the war in Iraq.

Yes, it was a mistake to have invaded Iraq. Saddam wasn't going to go any place, so he could have waited. We had other matters at the time that were more pressing, and the result of the mistake is that the worst terrorist the world has ever known is still out there.

No. Do you know what damage Bush did to a country that had nothing to do with 9/11. Nor was it threat to anyone, not even Israel.
Democracy can't be spread with a bomb. Only a lunatic like Bush believes that philosophy.
It is sad, Iraq was a good country with an educated population. And now, its a magnet for extremists. Saddam had his share of the blame for invading Kuwait, but Bush has everything to do what's happening in Iraq now. Its a civil war now. Now tell me, who can the Iraqi people blame? Saddam? Insurgents? Please...

I believe we should not have . if we wanted topple down Saddam , we could have done that without a war. now the situation in Iraq is in dire need for support and organizing something that we failed to do . and we will never manage to clear. we are not aware of how this part of the world works ...

There was never a good reason to do so in the first place. And there was a really poorly done plan, Iraq will take a long time to recover

No, I don't believe so,
considering the reason 'we' went to war was a contrived lie about weapons of destruction that did not exist.
thousands and thousands of human beings were killed in a war that had no just cause.
the whole world was lied to, and now no more is being said about the weapons becasue it was clear from the beginning that they did not exist.

Sports and politics are very much alike. At a sports event, the idiots in the stands always assume they know what the players should be doing better than the coach does, and in politics, the public, or at least parts thereof, perpetually assume that they know what's best for the country even though they've never even set foot on the front lines.

If people of America would think with their own head and not listen the media propaganda, then you would never went to Iraq. The world didn't support your invasion, because we know what will happen.
